ADDISON, TX--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2014) - Jani-King International, the world's largest commercial cleaning franchise company, is proud to announce its latest success as the top ranked commercial cleaning franchise as listed in the Franchise Direct - Top 100 Global Franchises. Jani-King was rated the 18th overall franchise among all franchise companies listed in the top 100.

With more than 120 regional support offices around the world, Jani-King has long established itself as the leader in the commercial cleaning franchise industry.

"We're proud of this latest accolade for our system and commitment that supports more than 11,000 unit franchise owners," said Jerry Crawford, President of Jani-King International.

According to the January 2014 Franchise Benchmark Report, Franchise Direct was the #1 franchise portal for the fourth quarter in 2013 and is the #2 portal for franchise candidates with liquid assets of $500,000+.

The Top 100 Global Franchises have been selected from thousands of franchises that have invested in international expansion strategies and have been ranked using an objective and measurable criteria. This criterion includes:

System size based on numbers of units

Sales revenue for the system

Stability and growth

Number of years in operation

Market expansion

The ranking is also based on the implementation of:

Best practice in the areas of franchisee support and training

Environmental policy

Social responsibility

Given the present economy, consideration was also given to the availability of financing to franchisees, and whether it was direct financing, SBA approved or third party financing. The information was gathered from Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs), email surveys, telephone interviews and published industry sources.

Each franchise which appears in The Top 100 Global Franchises has excelled at international expansion, investing time and resources to acquire linguistic capabilities while combining them with cultural sensitivities. Due to globalization and the dismantling of trade barriers, franchises have achieved better economies of scale which allow them to grow and develop in foreign markets.
